TheBacon posted:Plot twist I was way overloaded and fully bottomed out, shop actually called me following up on how things felt and I mentioned it. Even unloading most of the heaviest stuff still a bunch of contact on drivers side rear. Drove to shop hearing the scrapes the whole way from that corner and when I got there there was almost a baseball size chunk of rubber from the sidewall. He had said drive it over loaded to just see. Maxed out the height on that side which did at least bring level with the other side but still scrapping, though much much less than the constant, but still enough it’s probably not a good idea. Unloaded everything at home and it’s fine driving around now besides loading up that corner semi aggressively going through a corner which I mostly expect.

Obviously you just need some negative camber and flares.

I've got an E82 125i that has recently been showing a bit of a christmas tree of ABS, DTC and a yellow ! warning. I think it's probably just a wheel speed sensor, but I'm fairly incompetent and it's hot and gross outside and I want to avoid climbing around underneath a car for longer than I have to, so I'm trying to confirm. I ordered an OBDLink CX adapter and through the OBDlink app it's just showing a generic P0503 error which doesn't narrow it down much from what I can see. Will the paid version of Bimmerlink show specific error codes, or is there a free app that will? I also tried Carly but I can't get it to connect to the adapter.

I don't know if the MHD app works with whatever engine the 125 has, but that has free code reading. In any case, that sounds exactly like a wheel speed sensor issue. Just replace all four, or you will be back again a few months later to replace another one, and then another one.

As far as I recall, Carly did some voodoo to require their adapter specifically. It was the preferred app for the N52 though.

If you can find someone with the USB cable whatever it's called, that works with Carly now.

Thanks for the advice, I might just order a cable adapter. Does it matter if it's a generic one if I'm using it with Carly? Something like this? https://www.amazon.com.au/Diagnosti...2dDbGljaz10cnVl Also I went to jack up the car and have a look and my locknut key is missing, so that's fun! Guess I'll find out which one I need and order one of those as well.

Something like this? https://www.amazon.com.au/Diagnosti...2dDbGljaz10cnVl I have no idea if that will work. I know that the K+DCAN cable people sell works with Carly. Something like this. Not endorsing that specific one, it was just the first result on Amazon, but one of those with decent reviews should work. You'll need that as well as an adapter that goes from USB-A to whatever USB port your phone has.

To avoid claims or something probably? /edit: Despite my tire background, I basically have no clue when it comes to commercial vehicles like trucks and above, so maybe not, idk

You're taking this all pretty well, I would be so pissed at myself Oh I am extremely pissed and defeatist at myself, especially cracking my windshield from a 4-6” drop of the arm which will be $2k+. But I don’t know any other way to proceed besides self deprecation and posting fir other laughs. Which also lmao on this note, is there a preferred dealer in the area or one to avoid? I left Strictly BMW a message thanks to whoever recommended them but not sure they will want to do windshield. KillHour posted:Obviously you just need some negative camber and flares. BlackMK4 posted:Please no flares, just roll the fender lip. So yeah my mechanic and I were talking about rolling the rear as he was trying to adjust the kws with the car loaded up at his shop at 8pm or whatever it was. I am going to look for someone in the seattle area to do that for now, but also definitely will be running more narrow all seasons on the second set of wheels for ‘winter’ (which I also got lucky in the extremely rare time there is snow still on the ground for days in the PNW). I am actually looking at flaring the fenders, since I want to do s65 and that conversion. I also need a new rear bumper since the PO had the current one get best to poo poo, so obviously it makes sense instead of just sourcing a standard msport or whatever, spend the $8k or whatever to graft on the e90 rear flares and get an m3 rear bumper. (Actually thinking about this like semi seriously in the sense of if I really do want to do that, why ‘waste’ the money not working toward that, also only doing the rear means I wouldn’t have the front fender m3 side badges so not poser looking) Alarbus posted:Congrats on arriving alive! Duzzy Funlop posted:I mean, if the U-Haul's on winters, I'll take that option Everytime. Thanks! The uhaul definitely did not have winters as evidenced by spinning all the way up the hill 100 yards from my destination the final mile and my sphincter getting very tight. I am not even going to attempt unloading the car until the snow melts, also need to find a hill or a dip for it as I did manage to beach the car sort of on the first loading attempt and hosed up part of the undertray at minimum

Ether Frenzy posted:The estimate on your parking lot ding is $23,800. Inflation is rough. You know I didn't think BMW could out-expensive and over complicate their "Frozen" paint lineup, but here we are. I miss driving my BMW. Extra annoying is that for the past 6+ months Costco has not been able to gret any 265/35/19 PS4S tires. They finally got fronts in (245/35/19). I am wondering if I can get away with 255/275 setup. I am not running any spacers and I feel like people have done it before. I know the load ratings change though (they go heavier). I wonder if the ride quality would suck.

Somewhat Heroic posted:Inflation is rough. I got 275/30/19 all the way around this last tire install. No rubbing, no noticeable speedo mismatch. I can't tell a difference in ride quality between these and the completely knackered but regulation size PilotSport 2's that had to be replaced, I typically use the fullest comfort shocks setting but I haven't noticed anything jarring when in the full sport mode either.

It's funny, my E82 is in the shop again because the OFHG won't stop leaking and I've got a 2021 X1 as a loaner and the biggest thing I've noticed is how puny the front doors are compared to my car. It's like driving a Corolla or something, they're super tall and short The second thing that stood out to me was the ridiculous numb steering, it feels like a video game except with less haptic feedback. The third thing that stood out to me was the mood lighting that turns on when the headlights do, all the front trim has RGB strips like a loving razer keyboard or something, it's ridiculous. If I actually owned one of these things I would turn it off after like 10 minutes

I absolutely love the lighting in mine and it's not a new thing. They've been doing it for 20+ years and it's great that as a passenger you can find something without having to turn on the dome light and actually blind the driver. Does the E82 not have it?
